Spec score 9.2 #2 of 24 in Gym Access Control Software

What it is

Beckon Access is a cloud-managed access-control system for gyms, golf clubs, gated communities, and businesses. It combines a management portal, Beckon IoT hardware, and a mobile app; users can open nearby doors and gates with a tap. Operators can create temporary accounts, provide partner access, and issue day passes that do not require the app. Hardware supports WiFi and 4G/LTE, with a SIM included for LTE devices. The devices are designed to operate online or offline independently of local infrastructure, with failsafe mode, automatic fault detection, and monitoring. Operators can send push notifications, emails, SMS, and newsletters, and optionally require confirmation before zone entry. The platform manages subscriptions, scheduled activation and deactivation, SEPA direct debit, and returns. Integrations include a REST management API with real-time webhooks and a Magicline connector. Setup, training, and ongoing support are included, with installation coordinated through a scheduled video call and a local electrician or locksmith. Listed charges include a €99.00 monthly club management add-on, €499.00 one-time installation plus call-out charge, and hardware at €999.00 once per entrance, with connectivity charges.
